A. Application. A person who wishes to place, install, or maintain a newsrack on a public right-of-way must submit a complete application for a permit to the director on a form provided by the city. The form may include all newsracks of the applicant and must include or be accompanied by the following:

1. The name, street address, and telephone number of the applicant, who must be the owner or the person responsible for the newsrack and its compliance with this chapter.

2. The name, street address and telephone number of a person whom the city may notify or contact at any time concerning the applicant’s newsrack.

3. The number of newsracks for which permits are sought, each newsrack’s dimensions, how each newsrack will be anchored, and the proposed location of each newsrack shown on a drawing.

4. If the newsrack is a multiple-unit configuration, the number of publication spaces it will contain.

5. Any completed documents or forms necessary to comply with Section 13.92.060.

B. Access. A permit holder of a multiple-unit newsrack must allow the use of an available unit on a first-come, first-served basis. A permit holder may not allow one publication to occupy more than one unit per multiple-unit newsrack if such occupancy acts to exclude other publications from the use of the multiple-unit newsrack.

C. Fees. A permit holder of a multiple-unit newsrack may charge a fee for the use of a unit of such newsrack, but under no circumstances may such fee exceed the permit holder’s actual cost of purchasing, installing, and maintaining such unit.

D. Permit Conditions. Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter will require the permit holder to conform to the requirements of this chapter, whether or not such condition is expressly stated on the permit.

E. Permit Issuance. The director shall issue a permit within thirty days of receiving a completed application if the applicant has met the requirements of this chapter. A permit issued pursuant to this chapter is property of the city and cannot be reassigned, transferred, or otherwise given by a permit holder to another.

F. Denial or Revocation of Permit. The director may deny or revoke a permit issued pursuant to this chapter if a condition of this chapter is not met.

G. Notification. The director shall provide written notification to the applicant and to all property owners within ten feet of the location of the proposed newsrack of the director’s decision to deny, grant, or revoke a permit under this chapter within thirty days of making such decision. If the decision is to grant or deny a permit, the director shall provide such written notification within thirty days of receiving a completed application under this section. Notification will be by first class mail. (Ord. 3195-10 § 5, 2010.)
